Walker House Demolition in Ironwood Landmark Begins
Oke Johnson, buyer of the Walker House at Lowell and Ayer streets, has a wrecking crew at work. Ironwood Auto Service Co. owns the property, part of a purchase tied to the company’s organized era and the neighboring Ford garage. Built in the 1880s as a hotel serving miners and woodsmen, the structure stood as a historic roadside hub before vacancy led to its demolition. The building used white pine exclusively in its early construction, with sills and joists now being removed as the wrecking proceeds.

Endorse Connor for Legion Chair
Upper Peninsula posts favor Robert Connor of Ironwood for department commander in Michigan. Connor, a lumberman and banker with a long Legion record, would likely receive unanimous support at the Bessemer convention. He served in the Wisconsin National Guard and 32nd Division, earned the Croix de Guerre, and organized Ironwood’s American Legion post before rising to major and department delegate roles.
